About The Author: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948) was an Indian lawyer and nationalist leader who used nonviolent resistance to achieve India's independence from British rule. Known as Mahatma, meaning 'great-souled,' he spent significant years in South Africa, pioneering civil rights protests. Upon returning to India, he led the Indian National Congress, advocating for self-rule, poverty alleviation, women's rights, and unity. Despite contributing to India's independence in 1947, religious tensions led to Gandhi's assassination in 1948. His legacy endures, celebrated annually on Gandhi Jayanti, emphasizing nonviolence worldwide.
